This Weekends Fishing (so Far)

[ozark trout fisher]

Been fishing the lakes around where I live in Warren County. Friday night fished the dam at the largest lake (about 100 acres). Got out the fly rod, and cast topwater bugs. Got to the lake about an hour after dark, but the bluegill were still rising pretty well. Picked up about 10 I believe. Hooked a nice bass, but he broke the 5x tippett.

Next day fished a smaller lake out of a canoe for a few hours. Caught five bass I believe, the largest 17", so I didn't exactly tear them up, but we'll take it. Caught them on a spinning rod with a five inch zoom plastic worm (Green Pumpkin). Caught a mess of nice bluegill as well on nightcrawlers. All the bass were released unharmed, but I kept the nicer bluegill for a fish fry.
